The invention describes a pressure measuring device which can be produced in a simple manner and has a carrier (1, 3, 5), in particular a
metal carrier (1, 3, 5), in particular a stainless steel carrier, a pedestal (7, 9, 11) connected to the carrier (1, 3, 5) and a
pressure sensor (13) mounted on a free-standing end of the pedestal (7, 9, 11), the
pressure sensor (13) of which is protected against thermomechanical stresses and is distinguished by the fact that the pedestal (7, 9, 11) comprises a base (25, 27, 29) arranged on the carrier (1, 3, 5), the pedestal (7, 9, 11) comprises an extension (31) which extends from the base (25, 27, 29) in the direction of the
pressure sensor (13) and comprises the free-standing end of the pedestal (7, 9, 11), the base (25, 27, 29) has an area which isgreater than an area of the extension (31), and the extension (31) has an area which is smaller than an area of the pressure sensor (13) mounted thereon.
